#WorldNTDDay2024
[link removed]
Hi Friend,
Tuesday was #WorldNTDDay, an annual event to raise awareness and demand action for the control and elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Orbis treats a neglected tropical disease called trachoma. Trachoma is a painful bacterial eye infection and a major focus of our work globally.
In 2023, our teams in Ethiopia delivered 8.8 million doses of sight-saving antibiotics across Central, Southern, Southwestern, and Sidama regions – taking the total delivered by Orbis teams to more than 100 million doses. We also conducted nearly 50,000 surgeries, to reverse the eyelid and prevent irreversible blindness for those whose infection has turned into trichiasis.

We’ like to say a huge thank you to you, our wonderful supporters, for helping fight trachoma in 2023 and for helping us continue our work in 2024. Thanks to you, millions of people can look forward to a future of healthy sight.
Team Orbis
